I’m curious that what is base age for this game. I think i’m a little old for chaotic games. I am 52 years but i like this game too much. What is yours?
By the way one of my favorite movie is ‘No Country For Old Men’
*Pollers are hidden
I answered “25-” but I’m specifically 23 if that makes a difference to anyone.
I’m a huge fan of Cormac McCarthy’s novels, “No Country for Old Men” included! I’ve never seen the film, but I do intend to. My favourite novel by Cormac McCarthy would probably have to be “Blood Meridian” in all honesty.
I’ve never watched No Country for Old Men but I had the wonderful experience of watching Terminator 2 and Fight Club unspoiled. The twist in T2 genuinely caught me and Fight Club wasn’t what I expected but still one of the greatest movies ever made.
Also, I’m under 20. Assuming I’m the main demographic of “kids” on this forum, perhaps the kids are alright. Although, I have to wonder, OP… do you play this game a lot a lot, or are you more of a weekend warrior? Genuine question, not trying to throw shade - it’s probably a much better use of your time to only play on weekends anyways lol
I’m 43 and have been playing FPS games since Doom came out in 1993 (I was 12 then). Good times.
With a busy job, spouse, and two kids game time is certainly limited. I usually am able to squeeze in 2-4 matches about 3 evenings a week after the rest of the family is asleep - assuming I don’t drop asleep myself 
This has translated to about 650 hours of game time since DT released and it’s literally the only video game I’ve played since.
I can not play much because of my job and family responsibilities. They have always first priority (hate working but have to) I play since beta and have 600+ hours. As you said generally weekends but if i need some adrenalin and relax after it sometimes i play 2-3 times in work days. But not more than 1 hour.
I am older than Mezmorki so fall asleep earlier so i am not a night player 
Mezmorki, i remembered my Wolfenstein days, good ancient days.
we’re old man we know
44 and not giving an inch since the days of doom 
darktide hits that sweetspot of keeping me on my toes in auric maelstrom while not being a constant stat k/d heartattack screamfest like the competitive games i was doing until 40.
needed a while to accept that a linear increase wasnt maintainable while also having to bear a full time job.
reflexes are still there,say 75%-80%, which is amazing given the 10 hour drain a day that’s called work.
used to rather train 10+hours a day back when i didnt have to pay any bills.
what usually does the trick in terms of getting tilted earlier are 2 cans of energy on a 12 hour empty stomach.
after that the quake 3 / unreal tournament speed kicks back in from its slumber 
51 here, just old enough to recall the time before gaming . had an amiga at the time so didnt get to play wolfenstein on launch but some friends returning from uni brought that back , doom 2 on a lan in my new first house was my first real multiplayer fps then the internet racked up and q2 ctf was my jam for a good time.
funny to name that film in a thread being worried about being too old 
think orignal star wars would have to be my fave film, but Empire was the first thing i saw at the cinema and that was mind blowing experience back then
Makes a difference to me 
Kinda cool to see the “old” (40+) folks unite here. 
I’m 30, but I haven’t been playing for months as I’m waiting for the crafting rework.
46 here.
Not really noticing the reflexes dulling all that much yet or the eyes related to gaming, even if i found i do need to use glasses for painting minis now that i’ve started that again after a 20+ year hiatus.
Can chalk up another one for “darktide just kinda scratches an old twitch gaming itch” that i normally don’t bother with anymore, especially after the last few battlefield launches and the tribes relaunch was meh.
Damnation quickplay is also my comfort spot though, not too stressful but fun when the odd HIST shows up.
As for the age bit, my first “PC” was a c64 gifted by an uncle who loved maniac mansion so much he wanted me to play it too, think i was 10 at the time.
Started me down the road of buying an amiga with paper money and later on hopping on the x86 bandwagon from the 286 days, and that being my platform of choice from that point.
Said uncle is 84 now and plays more games than i do (helps to be fully retired and all adult children, obviously), and we try to get a game of homeworld cata/3 together when possible, and once in a blue moon he plays RIO in DCS just to laugh at me when I’m the pilot.
Been told “get gud scrub!” by a 80-year old retired pilot with a muppet chef accent before? I have.
I’ve still got a long way to go for the OG badge as long as that bastard is still around.
Can relate.
Wow, but you are very mature for your age 
mine as well, though it served 8 year old me as a life long reminder to treat my stuff proper.
cant remember the game i was losing it but as a result i used the cinch cable as a whip. 
after a good scolding i had to live with a “green screen” ever since.
good lesson too since i didnt get any replacement.
after that it was rather screaming than equipment abuse much cheaper
36 years and counting.
Feel sometimes like a 1000+ and sometimes like 12 years old. 
Nice. 44 here.
I always had the feeling DT players were more mature playerbase.
Spectrum ZX, SNES, PS1, N64, Dreamcast.
I think dumbest thing me and my friends ever did was to prevent eachother cheating in N64 Goldeneye multiplayer. It was quad split screen and we kept “stream sniping” eachother. So whilst drunk we tried to use a cardboard cut into cross shape stuck to the TV to sandbox each person’s view to their quadrant.
My OEM viglen PC was first experience opening up a PC to install Apocalypse 3Dx 4MB GPU and being blown away by Shogun Total War (2000)
I like the chaotic game but I play a lot of narrative heavy story games. Puzzle, walking simulators, VR, visual novels, etc. anything that seems new and novel. For story and dialogue I think the legacy of Kain series is still at the top despite age.
For movies specifically:
I heart Huckabee’s
Cloud Atlas
Network
Recently anything from Yorgos Lanthimos
Everything everywhere all at once
Logan
Burn after reading
John dies at the end
Birdman or the unexpected virtue of ignorance
Watchmen
Parasite
Joker
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead
Whiplash
Sorry to bother you
The lighthouse
500 days of summer
Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind
Grave of the fireflies
Princess monoke
Vampire hunter D
Honestly there’s more TV series I liked more than movies but those are the ones that come up.
Same. Especially when you don’t have (or want kids) but buy a trampoline for yourself and your friends.
I’m 40 and my fav film is City Of God.
All Cormac McCarthy stuff is pretty amazing though, especially if treated by the Cohens. Blood Meridian is the best book… I just wonder if a film could ever translate that type of writing.
